61
A VIGIL.
Beyond the night I gaze, and send afar
Mine eyes to search if there be any light,
Yet though they strain they see no glimmering star
Beyond the night.
Mine eyes to search if there be any light,
Yet though they strain they see no glimmering star
Beyond the night.
I listen if some lighter strain may smite
Mine ears than bitter fates that ruin and mar
Men's lives with sound of waves or winds in flight.
Mine ears than bitter fates that ruin and mar
Men's lives with sound of waves or winds in flight.
A moan from seas beyond the harbour bar
I hear, a moan of seas that charge and fight,
A moan that blows from lands where lost souls are
Beyond the night.
I hear, a moan of seas that charge and fight,
A moan that blows from lands where lost souls are
Beyond the night.
